Form is Temporary CLASS is Permanent Character is doing what’s right when no one else is looking We can’t help everyone… But everyone can help someone! Expansion is fantastic – But you can’t kill the roots and expect the tree to grow Winners look up to those who are superior to them and try and learn something from them. Losers resent those who are superior to them and try and find chinks in their armour...:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_33203.jpg



Voted and posted on the VT Thread.. I really do think everyone should vote for Neil. His record is exemplary and he is one of us! I would love to see a Wakefield lad on display at Wembley!!!!!

Neil Fox MBE (born 4 May 1939 in Sharlston,[1] West Yorkshire) is an English former rugby league footballer and player-coach of the 1950s, 60s and 70s. A goal-kicking Centre, he is one of the most prominent figures in the history of the sport because he holds the all-time points record, scoring 6,220 points during his career

Neil Fox played Left-Centre, i.e. number 4, and scored twenty points (two tries and seven goals) in Wakefield Trinity’s 38-5 victory over Hull F.C. in the 1959–60 Challenge Cup final at Wembley Stadium on 14 May 1960, setting a new record for most points in a Challenge Cup Final. This feat was equalled by Iestyn Harris (1-try and 8-goals) in Leeds Rhinos' victory over the London Broncos in the 1999 Challenge Cup Final. (If trys where equal Neil would still be the outright holder)

Neil Fox played Left-Centre, i.e. number 4, and scored two tries and two goals in Wakefield Trinity’s 16-10 victory over Huddersfield in the 1960–61 Yorkshire Cup final at Headingley Stadium, Leeds on 29 October 1960.[4]

Fox scored a try and three goals in the 12-6 victory over Huddersfield in the 1961–62 Challenge Cup final at Wembley Stadium on 12 May 1962, and was awarded the Lance Todd Trophy for his man-of-the-match performance. He scored five goals in the 25-10 victory over Wigan in the 1962–63 Challenge Cup final at Wembley Stadium on 11 May 1963.[4]

Neil is the all time record, point scorer - 6,220 points during his career.
Neil has scored the most points in a Great Britain Jersey - 228
Neil has scored the most points in a Challenge Cup Final (at Wembley) - 20 (Joint with I Harris)
Neil has won the Lance Todd at Wembley
Neil retired with the record for most points scored in Anglo-Australian test match history until overtaken by Mal Meninga in 1992
Neil's career spanned 23 years
Neil has played many times at Wembley and is one of the most prominent figures in our game
Neil is a gentleman and a still a massive fan of rugby League

There are many great players on that list and its always tough to choose just one. Its an honour to be in the top 10 and good luck to everyone but Neil gets my vote. You may remember a great try, tackle or win that gives fond memories but for someone to maintain such a consistently high performance over such a long period is an amazing feat and the phrase form is temporary, class is perminant comes to mind! I know the era's are different but i doubt his record will ever be beaten and to have the World Record RL point scorer on permanent display is the key! When the round ball fans are down at wembley asking who anyone is who are lucky enough to be chosen - If it is Neil they can look at the plaque and see he is the World record point scorer! That plays a tune and mutual respect in any sport..
